Four electric MPVs I would buy for my family’s daily travel

MPVs are arguably one of the most comfortable cars to go on a road trip or on a long journey and even for city travel. Spacious interior, more seats to accommodate more people, feature-rich cabin and the possibility of creating more space for luggage if need be. With diesel cars only allowed to operate for 10 years in Delhi-NCR and ambiguity related to fuel prices and mixture blends, the next best option is electric and here are four electric MPVs I would buy for my family’s daily travel:
